Project Background


You should check this webpage often during the project because I will update it as I answer questions

  • I am not sure when the project will be due because I need to better understand your research and presentation skills. My initial guess is that it will be due before the spring break.
  • Luke, the time is 1:45
  • The division sign in LaTeX is \div
  • Consider having someone review your "presentation" to mke sure that it is complete, accurate and clear.
  • I helped a group find resources on the Internet
    • we searched for sample problems
      • we used Google and the search terms "scientific notation" worksheets answers
    • we searched for instructional videos to see how the concept is taught
      • we used Google and the search terms "scientific notation" instruction video
  • You use LaTeX to create math symbols on our class wiki.
    • If you are using Microsoft Word or Powerpoint, they have their own way to insert symbolic notation.
      • Word --> Insert | Equation
      • Powerpoint --> Insert | Object | Equation
      • Once you are done creating the equation, simply close the small window and the equation will be inserted automatically in your Powerpoint/Word document.
    • If you are using any other program, such as Apple Pages, Apple Keynote, etc. you will have to insert the math symbols as a graphic file
      • Adjust the font size...I chose "(20pt) Huge"
      • Change the file type to "png"
      • Click on the blue link, "Click here to Download image (png)"
      • You will have a small graphic file on your computer wherever your browser saves downloaded files.
      • Drag it into Pages or Keynote
      • You can resie it a bit, but don't enlarge it too much or it will look pixelated.
